Fahad Metals is a reliable manufacturer and supplier of high-performance Zirconium Bars and Rods in Jakarta, Indonesia. Our Zirconium products are made with precision, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. Known for their quality and purity, our bars and rods meet global industry standards and are perfect for critical environments, including nuclear, chemical, and marine sectors. With strong infrastructure and a commitment to quality, Fahad Metals offers dependable and cost-effective Zirconium solutions tailored to customer needs, establishing us as a leading name in Indonesia’s metal manufacturing industry.
Zirconium Bars and Rods usually contain 99.2% pure zirconium, with minimal hafnium (<2%). The material shows great resistance to corrosion from acids and alkalis. Mechanical properties include a tensile strength of about 330 MPa, yield strength of 230 MPa, and elongation of 16–30%, depending on processing. Zirconium maintains its strength at high temperatures and has a high melting point (~1855°C), making it suitable for demanding applications. Its low neutron-capture cross-section also makes it important in nuclear applications.

Yes, Zirconium bars can be welded. It requires specialized techniques such as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) to ensure good weld quality, as it is highly reactive at elevated temperatures.
To maintain zirconium rods, keep them clean and free of contaminants. Store in a dry, cool environment. Avoid mechanical damage and ensure proper handling to prevent oxidation or corrosion.
Zirconium bars are generally resistant to galvanic corrosion due to their high corrosion resistance properties. However, when paired with more reactive metals, galvanic corrosion may still occur.
We provide products that come with both mill test certificates and third-party test certificates, ensuring the highest standards of quality and compliance.
